Are you talking about my setup?  What other way would you want to do it?
It's like that...

You still seem to be missing the point.  If these were all hard-wired
dimmers you could only operate them from the switch in the room that they
were wired to!  Without X10 capability they wouldn't be usable from any
plug
in transmitter anywhere in the house.

Also...how whould you have comfort talk to a hard wired system.

How would you have HomeSeer, or CWI or HomeVision etc etc talk to a
hardwired system.  X10 is the key that links all these together.
